I've lived in the SF Bay Area for nearly two decades now, and I only heard about this on the news this morning.
It appears every second Saturday in June for the past eight years or so, people come to San Francisco to participate in the Nude Bike Ride. Adults of all ages and fitness levels ride their bicycles, skateboard, rollerblade, rollerskate, or even walk or run in the nude along the streets of SF to protest our country's dependence on fossil fuel. From what I've read, other international cities do their own "nude bike" events throughout the year, too.
I know there's a Gay Pride parade every year, and I'm familiar with the Bay to Breakers event, though I've never seen either except on TV.
Does your city or hometown have something similar that features public nudity? In San Francisco it doesn't seem to be a big deal as along as it's in designated areas (not in city or state parks) and the occasion calls for it. Are you opposed to such gatherings of partially or fully naked people?
I asked my gay work buddy who lives in the City if he was going to attend, but he didn't give me an answer. I, on the other hand, just might show up tomorrow ... as a spectator ... or a participant.
What say you?
